Deep learning of 777 K bulk transcriptomes reveals human-mouse gene conservation beyond DNA sequence similarity.
Article in Communications biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mice are widely used as biomedical research models, yet results from mouse gene studies often differ from equivalent studies in humans despite similarities in DNA sequences. Here we show that gene expression patterns provide additional insight into human-mouse gene relationships. Using the Transformer-based GeneRAIN model on 777 K human and mouse bulk RNA sequencing samples, we generate RNA-based representations of genes and compare homologous genes across species. We identify 2,407 human-mouse homologous genes with high DNA sequence similarity but distinct RNA characteristics, which are more likely to have different disease or phenotype associations. We also identify 3,070 genes with low similarity at both DNA and RNA levels, suggesting a high risk of cross-species discrepancies. Our approach also identifies long noncoding RNA homologs based on cross-species RNA conservation. These results provide a resource for evaluating the suitability of mouse models for studying specific human genes.
